About Felipe Baeza
Born in Guanajuato, Mexico, Felipe Baeza incorporates painting and printmaking to examine how memory, migration, and displacement work to create a state of hybridity and fugitivity. Baeza’s art practice aims to imagine structures and possibilities for the self-emancipation of the fugitive body that lives in and is persistently subjected to hostile conditions. Recent exhibitions include FELIPE BAEZA, Maureen Paley, United Kingdom; 4 Artists, Fredericks & Freiser, New York; Demolition WoManhood, Skibum MacArthur, Los Angeles; and No Longer Yours, The Mistake Room/Anonymous Gallery, Mexico City. Baeza’s residencies include the Lower East Side Printshop, Anderson Ranch, and a forthcoming year-long residency at NXTHVN. He is the 2017 recipient of the The Robert Schoelkopf Memorial Traveling Fellowship and The Josef & Anni Albers Foundation Fellowship. Baeza received a BFA from The Cooper Union and an MFA from the Yale School of Art. He currently lives and works between New Haven, CT, and New York, NY.

My work utilizes art as a tool to create political spaces. I reconstruct new imaginaries of neither here nor there, allowing the fugitive body to make use of imagination for liberation, to transcend circumstances.”
